Record Screens & Menus
By Matt Metzker
Auto mode allows the camera to select functions of the camera while still allowing the user to customize some of the functions as well. In the screen capture above we see it is in Auto mode and has selected values for High Sensitivity and Low Noise as indicated by the SN logo.
EXR mode
combines the full use of Fuji's new Super CCD EXR imaging sensor and
processor to create images that are more realistic than ever before.
This mode combines one of three specific sensor modes (shown below) with
one of the cameras scene modes for the best images possible
Fuji's EXR
shooting modes consist of Resolution Priority for the most detailed
images possible, High ISO and Low Noise for the least amount of noise at
Higher ISO settings (for low-light situations) and D-Range Priority for
capturing images that have extreme light and dark areas.
Program mode is
another automatic shooting mode that gives the user a little more
control. Options like metering, ISO and white balance are at the users
disposal. Aperture and Shutter Speed are still chosen by the camera.
Pressing the
shutter release halfway initiates the AF and AE systems, allowing the
camera to focus on you subject and determine the shooting settings. When
these processes complete, you will see the screen above, if one of them
fails, either the focus frame or the numbers will turn red.
In Manual Mode the user has complete control over the settings of the camera allowing for the most customization of all the shooting modes.
Above is an animation of the different shooting mode options which include: EXR Auto, Program, manual, Movie, Pro Focus, Natural Light, Natural Light + Flash and Auto.

using Auto, EXR or SP modes, either you or the camera will have access
to the various pre-set scene modes. These include: Pro-Focus, Pro
Low-Light, Portrait, Portrait Enhancer, Dog, Cat, Landscape, Sport, Night, Night
(tripod), Fireworks, Sunset, Snow, Beach, Underwater (with optional waterproof case), Party, Flower and Text.
The "F" button
or function shortcut takes you directly to some of the more commonly
changed settings of the camera. Here you can see the ISO settings, Image
Size and Film Simulation modes.
Also providing
you with some shortcuts is the 4-way controller. Pressing it "UP" allows
you to adjust the Exposure Compensation (not pictured), "RIGHT" changes
the flash mode, "DOWN" sets the Self-Timer and "LEFT" enters Macro
mode.

Fujifilm has made setting the face detection incredibly easy, just the touch of a button in fact. pressing the Face Detection button on the back of the camera brings up this screen quickly and allows you to get that picture before the natives get restless. 
The F80 EXR
allows you to capture video with sound at resolutions of HD1280 or a standard definition of 640. Unlike most
compact digicams, the F80 EXR also allows you to use the full 10x
optical zoom while recording your video, but the internal microphone picks up the sound and it will overpower any other noise or dialogue.
